The Hampshire Educational Collaborative, founded in 1974 and located in Northampton, Mass., is a nonprofit, multi-service agency that offers a range of programs and services to provide learning for the community's at-risk youth. The organization provides learning by educating and supporting students, teachers and administrators through programs in early childhood, after school, special education and adult education. It also provides professional development for educators. The organization is governed by school committee representatives from its local member school districts. It also has classrooms for children with cognitive disabilities in public schools. Additionally, it has created small alternative high schools for students with behavioral and emotional challenges. The Hampshire Educational Collaborative also oversees a number of regional programs, such as family network centers, community partnerships for children, and strategic planning for families and youth.

The Center for Collaborative Education (CCE) is a non-profit organization based in Boston, MA, dedicated to achieving educational excellence and equity for all students. Since 1994, CCE has been at the forefront of promoting educational reform, increasing the number of teachers of color, and replacing one-size-fits-all performance metrics. Their unique philosophy and community-centered approach to innovation, backed by data-driven dialogue, aim to increase community voice and ownership while decreasing negative social determinants. CCE's team consists of seasoned educators, public policy advisors, and community members who work together to partner with schools, districts, and communities to ensure student success and community thriving. Through their programs, such as the Community Driven Educator Pathway and the Reciprocity Project, CCE co-creates and collaborates with communities and schools to build a better playing field for everyone, emphasizing action based on humility, deep listening, and applied knowledge.Generated from the website
